PREFACE.
The plan of this Method and Manual is in general the same
as that of the corresponding "Introductory Hebrew Method and
Manual " of Professor W. E. Harper, Ph.D. The following notes
may be in place by way of explanation.
The first four chapters of Genesis (which are copied with Taria-
tions from Nestle's " Syriac Grammar") are chosen because they
afford the best means of comparison with the Hebrew of Pro-
fessor Harper's "Manual."
The selections from the 10th to the 32d page, inclusive, lead
up gradually from more easy to more difficult j^ortions of the
Peshito version. The last selection is the introductory portion
of the history of Eabban Soma, possessed in manuscript by the
author and never before published. Being printed in the JSTesto-
rian alphabet, it will be useful as an introduction to the East
Syriac system of writing. For assistance in reading this selection
the reader is referred especially to the note under Section I.,
Article 6, and to Article G. 6. of the "Elements."
The "Notes and Observations" need no remark, except that
the latter contain all of the miiin principles of Syriac grammar,
while the former give all explanations necessary for a full under-
standing of the orthography, etymology, and syntax of the text.
The " Grammar Lessons " carry the student over all the articles
of the "Elements of Syriac Grammar," with reviews of the same.
The ""Word Lessons" contain only such words as are not in the
verses of Genesis, upon which the '•' Exercises " are largely based.
When the grammar lesson has been upon a certain subject, the
word lesson gives such words as throw light upon it ; e. g., in
Lesson XT. the grammar lesson is on Lomadh Olaph verbs; the
word lesson consists largely of Lomadh Olaph verbs. The vocabu-
lary thus learned can be enlarged from the " Word Lists " on pp.
134-147. The '' Exercises " are based upon the text of Genesis
and upon the grammar and word lessons. They will be found, it
is hoped, an excellent means of fixing in the memory the princi-
ples of grammar and the words of most common use. The *' Ex-
ercises" can be supplemeuted by the transliteration of Genesis I.,
and by the literal translation of Genesis I. -IV., found at the end
of the volume.

first radical), (b) by the non-doubling of the second radical.
(3) By there being but two syllables; the intensive and causative
passive having three.
(4) According to form, this might be the 1st pers. sing. Imperf. , or
the 3rd masc. Perf. : the sense requires the latter.
2. Observations.
87. Imperfects may have a, i, or ii, under the 2nd radical of the Pe'al.
88. The same form is often used in different senses, the sense in a
particular case is to be determined by the context, e. g. -^msLa.) , .claJ^^J.

104 a. The comparative is usually expressed by putting the adjective
first, in agreement as to gender and number with the noun to be
compared, e. g. >cu.p^ is the adjective, and ]Lz.lt is the noun to be
compared. The idea with which the comparison is made is preceded
by ^, e. g. jZa-i-.. Vs.
105. Observe that a point above denotes a or o as distinguished
from e, e. g. ^=i7ien, but ^=ma7i or mon, otl^=AitWo/i, ai^s^kuUeh.
106. J may be either a demonstrative pronoun like nt, or a relative
pronoun (like ^t or n; used relatively) or a conjunction.
107. Observe that there are in this lesson three ways of expressing
the genitive relation. (1) }-^,9 ]Za^,^ vs. 1. (2) ]'^<"] ^b"|^ vs. 2.
(3> iji-?i.3? oill^^s vs. 3.
108. The form V^uo in this lesson denotes, (1) a simple past, e. g.
Icsi vs. 1, (2) a pluperfect, g^ vs. 1, (3) a present perfect, e. g. the
second j.L| in vs. 1, (4) a present (Greek 2nd perfect) ^^ vs. 5.
109. "We have in this lesson specimens of the three kinds of de-
pendent sentences, (1) substantive e. g. in the object clauses beginning
with i3? vs. 1, ^i*? vs. 2, the first }3? vs. 3, jlcilr:? vs. 5, (2) adjective
e. g. in the relative clauses beginning with ,^? vs. 1, \jijy^c'9 vs. 2,

^cZaicZ P? vs. 3, and in the causal clause ? VjOiO vs. 5.
1 1 0. There is no way in Syriac to distinguish between the negative
of the Imperfect and that of the Imperative , i. e.\ c4u:i P is ''thou
Shalt not hiir or '■'kill not'\ *(] is both o-j and i^yj, xb and bx.
111. All the modes may be expressed by the Imperfect. In this
lesson we have ^o^^^U J] ye shall not eat, vs. 1, '\c.sjj we may eat,
vs. 2, ^o^a^z J] lest ye die, vs. 3. ye shall not die vs. 4.

113. Nominal clauses are those which have a noun for predicate,
e. g. the clauses beginning with \ »,'^a.? vs. 6; ,^*i\^-^? vs. 7; ]^s)
MANUAL.— PART I. 109
VS. 9; <-!^i^? VS. 10, and vs. 11; oOi* vs. 13; w^l*^ vs. 14. Verbal
sentences are those whose predicate and copula are a verbal form, e. g,
the sentences beginning with Z\*to vs. 6, A-^iiaJ vs. 7 etc.
114. As in Hebrew, the personal pronoun is frequently used as a
copula, vss. 6, 1 1 and 1 3.
115. The personal pronouns may be used to emphasize the persons
denoted by the forms of the vei-b, compare ^m, vs. 12.
116. The Infinitive is really a verbal noun i. e. it is governed like
a noun and governs like a verb, e. g. "Vs^lalik for eating^ \ ..v/^V fo^
looking at, vs. 6. See § 120.
117. The same forms are used to denote the Reflexive and Passives.
For the former compare a*AJZ| vs. 8, for the latter «^LsZ| vs. 7.
118. The participle when used like the Arabic accusative of con-
dition is indefinite but agrees with its antecedent in number and gender.
119. "When the relative is to be governed by a preposition the re-
lative » is placed first as usual and the preposition follows with a pro-
nominal suffix agreeing in gender and number and person with the
antecedent of the relative.
120. Nouns are frequently placed in an abnormal position at the
beginning of a sentence, their place in the sentence being assumed by
a pronoun, e. g. \Zh^\ vs. 12.
121. The relative time of the participles is to be gathered from the
context. Compare '^oU^ vs. 8 with - l -^ vs. 14.

2. Observations.
143. Nouns and pronouns may, without any change of accidence,
be treated as the Arabic adverbial accusative or the Latin oblique
cases to denote cause, time etc.
144. Some irregular plurals are formed by inserting "Wau before
the regular ending, e. g. l^a-ic], vs. 1.
145. Compound words are occasionally met with, e. g. \xj^^ vs. 2.
146. Remember the use of the relative > in the sense of "he who"
when followed by a participle vs. 3 and compare the Greek and Hebrew
with the article.
147. Notice how often the Syriac translatoi's have changed the
Hebrew Imperfects, Perfects etc. into different tenses, e. g. the Hebrew
Imperfects in vss. 1 and 2 have been changed into Perfects. Let the
student hereafter note these changes and seek their cause.
148. Notice the light which a study of this psalm throws on the
Syrian translators' views of the text, grammar and exegesis of the
psalm, e. g. i.io-»j| vs. 0, \^ vs. 12 etc.
149. Notice the differences as well as the similarities between the
Syriac and the Hebrew in rootj form and construction, i. e. as to roots,
MANUAL— PART I. ] 23
consider (1) sometimes the same root has a different meaning in the
two languages, e. g. '\j^i^ ^^^i r°^' w^b^3.
(2) Sometimes the same idea has a different root, e. g. to forsake, to
make, to form.

doest well, at the door the sin (is) laid, thou wilt turn thy-
self unto him and lie shall have dominion over thee.
8. And said Cain to Abel his brother : Let us go to the plain.
And it came to pass that when they (were) in the field arose

the blood of him who (is) thy brother (is) crying unto me
from the earth.
11. Therefore cursed (be) thou from the earth which has opened
her mouth and has received the blood of him who (is) thy
brother from thy hands.
12. When thou shalt labor in the earth she shall not add that
she should give to thee her strength, fleeing and wandering
shalt thou be in the earth.
13. And said Cain to the Lord : Great is my sin from that which
(is) to remit.
14. Behold thou hast caused me to go out to-day from the faces
of the earth and from before thee I shall be hidden and I
shall be fleeing and wandering in the earth and anyone who
shall find me will slay me.
15. And said to him the Lord : Not so, whosoever (is) the killer

voice, wives of Lamech hearken to my saying ; because that
